Did the winner from both sides have to play each other in a championship game to see who got in? If it was a 12 team district? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non District was out of the question I assume. No. Districts with 12 or more teams were divided into two zones.Teams only played those in their zone for district games. The winners of each zone played for the District Championship the week before Bi-District. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debragga Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Matt, do you have any record of Class B during these alignments? I'm pretty sure that's where Crandall was at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoopscoach17 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I remember that up until about 1975 class B only played up to the regional round in football. Somewhere around the mid '70's they started playing for a state championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dillonpanthers Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I think in the late 70s early 80s only one team was even going to the playoffs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirtFalcon Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Back in the late 60s three teams in our district finished 9-1 and we had a three way coin flip to see who made the playoffs .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
